What’s up with the Manjaro webpage? https://manjaro.org
It has been broken for a long time now for me in Firefox, it just appears like a white broken webpage, without CSS.
Basically the webpage is utterless broken in Firefox and unable to navigate.
However, the webpage is running fine on Brave, but isn’t my preferred browser.
I’ve tried to include a link with a screenshot for you here, but yeah, that wasn’t allowed…
I have also tried to:
disable all the extensions in Firefox
enable “popup” windows
and enabled “standard protection” in the security-tab:
“Balanced for protection and performance. Pages are normally charged.”
Also, it might been a year or two since I’ve logged on.
Thought it was worth a second go with Manjaro, which brings me to another question - what happened to my old account? old account “Dexter” was gone, and password recovery not working.
close firefox mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla-backup
open it again
you’ll have created a fresh profile that way, but can revert to the old or use it to import some or all of your previous settings
It must have been much longer than two years then since your last logon to the forum.
About four years ago, the Manjaro forum suffered a serious data corruption and had to be reinstalled from scratch. Everyone therefore had to register an account all over again. But no accounts have been deleted or anonymized since then without that the member requested us to do so.
On account of your firefox problem, follow @Nachlese’s advice, because it does sound like your browser configuration has become corrupted somehow. The site is perfectly visible to me, and I too am using firefox.
I was having problems with some things recently and eventually I worked out that I’d made a change I thought would be useful which broke what I actually needed to do.
Save your bookmarks, delete firefox and all its configs, start a virgin instance. If it still doesn`t work, you have a serious problem with your system.
Have you changed DNS service to i.e. cloudflare or similar?
… why would I even want to try to do that?
I do not know enough about all the flags and options and why they are what they are and what they do and how they affect the browsers behavior.
Nor do I know enough about how the http protocol works … and what could break and why, if something like this is changed
(to achieve what effect or goal?)
To me, this looks like your multilayered assumption (based upon what?)
If you want to increase your browsing security when it comes to sending page referral headers, then you might want to take a look at this page: Security/Referrer - MozillaWiki
Instead of completely disabling the sending of the referring page, there are other options available such as trimming the referral header to just the domain name etc.
Difficult to say - my guess is that manjaro is using the referer internally to create some private metrics of pages viewed, clicked - and in which order.
If you skim the page source you find a private instance of matomo.manjaro.org.
